Looking Ahead

• What did the past six weeks or so look like for you?
• Were you able to connect with yourself?
• Were you able to separate emotions from decisions to eat?
• Were you able to listen to your body?
• Do you feel more confident implementing intuitive eating?
• Are there any activities that you need to go back and repeat?

Intuitive eating is something to always continue working on, so we encourage you to come back to this module any time you need.

Things P2 wants you to continue beyond this module:

1. Respect your body and understand you are on your own journey. Everyone is different. We all have different shapes, sizes, looks, and overall genetics. Don’t let your body define your self-worth. Instead, let how you fuel your body be an extension of self-love.
   
   
2. Understand that society will always try to define what we should eat and what we should look like. It’s up to us to separate from that. 
   
   
3. Focus on behavior change (habits, lifestyle) as opposed to looking for a quick-fix.
   
   
4. Focus on how you feel, your health status and your emotional well-being above all.
   
   
5. Continue to work on adding things to your diet, rather than restricting. Eating a variety of nutrient-dense foods to fuel your body will help you settle into a comfortable, manageable, healthy weight. 
   
   
6. Continue to journal. Writing down things you love about yourself can be helpful. Remind yourself often that you are more than your weight, your looks or your body. 
   
   
7. There’s no one size fits all for nutrition and that includes intuitive eating. You must find what works for you. We all have different goals, preferences, activity levels, jobs, home lives, etc, and learning intuitive eating respects these differences relative to each individual.
   
   
8. Lastly, while nutrition is complex and individualized, we know that one meal, or one day, will not make or break your health or size. It’s relative to your eating habits, listening to your body, loving and respecting your body. 

P2 coaches are here to guide you through your transition to intuitive eating if you need some extra guidance through the process. Nutrition education, journal prompts, non-macro tracking sheets, and mental health resources are available to client who want that extra help. Book an exploration call with us HERE.
